Introduction

Terence Crawford is an American former professional boxer with an estimated net worth of $8 Million.

Net Worth History

When we first started tracking Terrence Crawford’s net worth in 2023, he was estimated to be worth $8 million. However, this estimate was made before his last three fights with Errol Spence, Israil Madrimov, and Canelo, which earned him at least $37.5 million in total. His actual earnings, in all likelihood, were much higher than this. As a result, recent estimates place Crawford’s net worth at approximately $8 Million at the time of writing.

Fight Purses

In a previous interview, which we’ll discuss shortly, Terence Crawford recounted his fight purses from the earliest years of his career. Crawford earned just $600 for his first professional boxing bout, which was actually less than he earned as an amateur. He also mentioned that it took him roughly twelve fights before he began earning $2,500 per fight. In other words, Bud’s first twelve pro bouts potentially earned him less than $20,000. 

Top Rank Contract & Earnings

In the early 2010s, Bud Crawford signed a contract with the boxing promotion, Top Rank. Thanks to a 2019 lawsuit, we can see how much he earned from several of his fights under the promotion. The first of which was a $500,000 base purse for defending the WBO World Lightweight title against Yuriorkis Gamboa in June 2014. He also received an additional $21,931.60 from a share of the ticket sales. Later that year, he earned $800,000 for defending the title against Ray Beltran. 

In October 2015, Crawford earned a total purse of $1,226,824 from his fight against Dierry Jean. The following year, he fought three times, all under the Top Rank promotion, earning $1.2 million against Hank Lundy, $1.3 million against Viktor Postol, and finally, just over $1.5 million against John Molina Jr. The last two fight purses disclosed in the lawsuit were $1.65 million against Felix Diaz in May 2017 and $2 million against Julius Indongo in August 2017. 

Peak Career Fight Purses

Following on from the above, Crawford began earning significantly more money per fight. This includes guaranteed purses of $3.625 million against Jose Benevidez Jr. and $4 million against Egidijus Kavaliauskas from the promoter. From then on, Crawford typically earned at least $3.5 million per fight, with notable paydays of $5.5 million (base purse) in his 2019 bout with Amir Khan, and $6 million against Shawn Porter (2021).

The highest-disclosed purse of Bud Crawford’s career was his 2023 fight against Errol Spence Jr., in which he earned a total of $25 million. Technically, other fights could have earned him more, but this was his highest known purse.

As for his shocking upset decision win over Canelo Alvarez in September 2025, reports suggest Terrence earned a base purse of $10 million. His total earnings from the fight were never publicly disclosed, though some suggest it could have been as much as $30 million. Still, nothing has been confirmed, so we’ve only listed his base purse in our calculations.

How Crawford Spent His First $1 Million

In July 2023, Terence Crawford was interviewed by GQ for its My First Million series, which has previously featured numerous professional athletes. Some of the other fighters to be interviewed for the series include Canelo, Israel Adesanya, and Kamaru Usman. In the series, athletes describe how they spent their first million dollars; however, note that the term is used loosely. Some discuss their first $1 million in expenditures, which could have been spread over a long period. Others outline how they spent their first $1 million in earnings.

In Terence Crawford’s case, he appears to be talking about how he spent his earnings from 2015 and 2016, when he began earning more than $1 million per fight. With that in mind, here’s a breakdown of how Bud Crawford spent his first million dollars:

• Sister’s house – $260,000
• Second sister’s house – $250,000
• Four-bedroom home – $150,000
• Gym building – $100,000
• GMC Denali – $85,000
• Pickup truck – $80,000
• Grandma’s house – $80,000

Expenses Summary

Analyzing the above expenses, Crawford spent 84% ($840,000) of his first million dollars on real estate, of which $590,000 went toward his family’s homes. He bought each of his sisters a house and spent roughly $80,000 to help his Grandma remodel her home. Crawford then spent $150,000 on his home in Nebraska and $100,000 to buy the building that housed his gym. Terence and his team had initially been renting half the building, but when the landlord died, his wife sold the building to Crawford. This is currently the home of his B&B non-profit organization.

Lastly, Crawford spent the remaining 16% of the $1 million ($165,000) on two vehicles. This is a rather admirable account of his expenditure, as he didn’t start dropping tens of thousands of dollars on jewelry like most athletes. There’s no mention of his investments outside of real estate, but hopefully, they were just too boring for the video.

Legal Issues & Controversy

Crawford has been involved in several controversies during his career, including in 2016, when he was arrested in Omaha, Nebraska, for disorderly conduct and trespassing. However, the charges were later dropped, and in 2020, a public altercation occurred between Crawford and Top Rank promoter Bob Arum. Crawford felt disrespected by the lack of promotion for his fight, but the situation was later resolved.

Crawford is also known for his trash-talking and charismatic personality, which have helped build his reputation as one of boxing’s biggest stars today. He is recognized for his philanthropy and charitable work, including numerous initiatives that support underprivileged children and young athletes in his hometown of Omaha.

Introduction

Naseem Hamed, also known as Prince Naseem or Naz, is a British former professional boxer with an estimated net worth of $33 Million.

In a career spanning roughly a decade, Naseem Hamed fought 37 professional boxing bouts, winning all but one. The former IBF, IBO, WBC, and WBO World Featherweight Champion retired in 2002. 

This profile details our research into Naseem Hamed’s net worth, fight purses, additional income sources, and real estate investments.

Quick Facts

• Total disclosed fight purses of $12 million
• Highest-recorded purse: $8.5 million against Marco Antonio Barrera
• Potentially earned more than $50 million during his career
• Earned $2.5 million from endorsement deals in 1997
• Sponsors included Adidas and Sony

Earnings History

Before we get into the details on how much Naseem Hamed earned for each of his fights, let’s first discuss his income as a whole. Forbes featured Hamed on its annual list of the highest-paid athletes in 1997, earning an estimated $12 million during the period. Roughly $9.5 million of this figure came from fight earnings, and the remaining $2.5 million came through brand endorsements. As far as we’re aware, this is the only time that Hamed made the Forbes list, though we could be wrong. 

Fight Purses

According to his Tapology profile, Naseem Hamed’s lifetime disclosed earnings total $8 million. However, it’s important to mention that this figure is incomplete. It only accounts for a couple of his fights and doesn’t include things like PPV bonuses. Unfortunately, not all fight purses are publicly disclosed, which is why most fighter profiles, including our own, will have gaps. That said, here’s what we know.

When Hamed fought Kevin Kelley at Madison Square Garden in December 1997, he was reportedly guaranteed $2 million. For comparison, Kelley’s disclosed pay was just $500,000. Two years later, he earned a similar sum of $2 million from his bout with Cesar Soto for the WBC and WBO World Featherweight belts.

Several years later, in April 2001, Hamed suffered his first career loss against Marco Antonio Barrera. Nonetheless, he reportedly took home a guaranteed $6 million, which was triple the $2 million paycheck that Barrera received. This figure was increased to approximately $8.5 million after PPV shares.

A year before and after the Barrera fight, Naseem earned $1 million apiece from two bouts with Vuyani Bungu and Manuel Calvo. 

Endorsement Deals

At the peak of his career in the late 1990s, Naseem Hamed earned a substantial income from brand endorsements. We briefly mentioned at the beginning of this profile that Hamed earned an estimated $2.5 million from his sponsors in 1997. It’s likely that his flagship endorsement deal with Adidas accounted for the bulk of this income.

Additionally, Naseem partnered with brands such as Sony, signing a six-figure contract to promote the launch of the original PlayStation console.

Real Estate

In 2005, Naseem Hamed bought a 10-bedroom Yorkshire mansion for $3.7 million, and in 2015, he sold it for $2.6 million. While we don’t know where he lived afterward, we do know that in early 2022, Hamed began renting a $1.5 million townhome next to Windsor Castle.

Summary 

Naseem Hamed has made a legacy as one of the best British professional boxers, and his fortune has swelled thanks to his talents. Although he has been retired since 2002, the wealth he accumulated has ensured he can continue living comfortably for decades to come.

Introduction

David Diaz is an American former professional boxer and real estate broker with an estimated net worth of $15 Million. 

In a career spanning roughly fifteen years, David Diaz fought a total of 41 times, securing the WBC and IBA World Light Championship belts. He often earned six figures per fight at his peak, but retired at 35 in 2011. Since then, Diaz has become a licensed real estate broker and currently works at Realty of America.

This profile details our research into David Diaz’s net worth, fight purses, and additional income sources.

Quick Facts

• Typically earned between $350,000 and $850,000 per fight
• Currently works as a real estate broker

Net Worth Details

David Diaz earned the bulk of his net worth from his professional boxing career during the 2000s. While he currently works a regular job as a real estate broker, Diaz reportedly managed his boxing earnings well. At the time of writing, his net worth is estimated at approximately $15 Million.

Fight Earnings

Unfortunately, not too many of David Diaz’s fight purses are publicly known. We do know that he earned approximately $350,000 for his 2007 bout against Erik Morales and reportedly received $850,000 for his 2008 fight against Manny Pacquiao.

Diaz was also in negotiations to fight Juan Manuel Marquez, but the fight was ultimately canceled due to a dispute over his purse. He reportedly wanted a guaranteed purse between $250,000 and $300,000, but was only offered $150,000. It’s estimated that Diaz typically earned five-figure sums for his early-career bouts that weren’t on PPV.

Additional Income Sources

Now that Diaz no longer competes as a boxer, what is the majority of his income derived from? Two ventures in particular are worth mentioning. The first would be his boxing gym, but most notably, David is now a qualified real estate broker. He holds a position at Realty of America, which is presumed to be his primary source of income at present.

Financial Comments

Over the years, many fans have discussed Diaz’s financial situation on boxing forum websites, questioning where all the money from his fights went and whether he had gone broke. This was likely a popular question, as few famous former boxers begin new full-time careers unless they have mismanaged their finances. However, Diaz has stated in several interviews that he was financially stable upon retiring from the sport.
